Hi again, Tyler here. Still enjoying BBEdit after years of productivity.
Just switched over to licensed while upgrading to 13.0.2. (Installer swiftly deleted my old version, and then I had to finish upgrading to MacOS before I could use BBEdit again...oops...) Same old issue coming back up here. I basically just like to be able to switch the Currently Open Documents sidebar on and off at will, with a shortcut, without the overall window getting whacked out of shaped in the process. Now, though, after upgrading (NB: I also upgraded to MacOS Catalina), if I try my trusty old modified shortcut script (from Bruce above), I get an error dialogue saying "A scripting error has occurred: BBEdit got an error: Can't make visible into type visible." On top of that, the options in the Sidebar part of Preferences (i.e. Automatically show sidebar: As needed, Always, Never) don't seem to have any effect, and the View > Window Appearance > Hide Currently Open Documents menu command is greyed out — seemingly most similar to this old post on the TextWrangler forum (way back in 2012): https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/textwrangler/zyXubgVEgnw. Sadly, my Applescript debugging attempts are not getting me anywhere. Any help? Cheers Tyler On Monday, April 24, 2017 at 8:33:33 AM UTC-4, Tyler Neill wrote: > > Very cool, thanks!
